'A lot of work to do': Alex Palou doesn't think his IndyCar championship lead is safe
Team Penske swept the podium: Will Power, followed by Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin.
From Nathan Brown, IndyStar
We're reaching the halfway point of a 17-race season, and Palou and Kirkwood have hogged all the checkered flags.
Is anyone besides Alex Palou or Kyle Kirkwood allowed to win a race? If so, who?
Fortunately ... or unfortunately ... depending your fandom, this feels like an 'Alex Palou rebound' weekend. In four years racing at Road America for Chip Ganassi Racing, he has two wins and took 4th last year. I don't expect him to settle for a bunch of top-5 finishes the rest of the way. Palou's going to win again, and coming off finishes of 25th and 8th since his Indy 500 victory, this feels like the weekend.
Who will have a surprising qualifying effort?
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing rookie Louis Foster will make a Fast 6 appearance, a much-needed boost for a team that has seen all three of its full-time cars finish 20th or worse in both races since the Indy 500. RLL has a strong history at Road America.
Team Penske swept the podium last year at Road America but had a horrible time in St. Louis last weekend? How will it fare this weekend?
The team will again fall short of its first win of the year, but we'll see a return to the podium for just the fourth time this season, delivered by Will Power, who won last year's race.
